Viking Beer Crawl
Why do salmon swim upriver? Do bridge trolls make good security guards? Does that scruffy man drinking a craft beer work on the shipyard, or in tech?
Welcome to life in Seattle. For 3.5 epic hours, we pack in the greatest joys of the Northwest on foot!
This tour pays visit to 2 breweries (under 21 allowed), 2 restaurants and 1 cafe inside the National Nordic Museum, all within walking distance from natural wonders, engineering marvels and a city's proud history.
Food and Drink are included.
Watch Salmon swim upriver to their ancestral spawning grounds with your own eyes!
Raise the bridges (and the boats!) as they have for over 100 years.
Cheers (Skal!) your new friends and eat fish off a stick like the Viking you always knew you were.
Ballard is a short distance from downtown, accessible in 25 min by bus, <15 min by car, or 30 min by scooter/bike share.
The tour includes a total of 2.75 miles of walking on mostly flat ground, but there is plenty of time in-between for rest.
